![]() Pssh, asking in a post is the same as googling.
40.2 .. "F" ? Do I have to worry about accidentally buying leaded gasoline if I ever come pay a visit?

![]() The outdoor sump was the best idea I ever came up with. No mess; no noise; doesn't take up space. I only wish I could have put the sump for the 225g out there too. It's in a closet.
